I actually got a call back from an FMCSA person. I am 100% correct in my concern about being being compliant and legal, the regulation requires...
There has been no letter or anything posted other than a memo on the 4th saying to do paper logs and send them to *this* email address. Correct....
I finally landed a trucking job I was enjoying. Then the November 2nd thing happened and qualcomms stopped working. The ELD in my assigned company...
Omnitracs devices are manufactured similar to Apple devices: as cheap as possible with old, almost obsolete hardware. Then they are falesly...
Sure. They can ask for an extension. QCs haven't functioned very well for several years. There are 500+ other compliant devices. The FMCSA isn't...
So the fix is to use one of the other nearly 600 compliant devices. And the fact that there are 600 other registered and compliant devices is why...
Very true about technology. I was told to take my assigned truck to a terminal 40 miles away. I called first and asked and the shop admin said...
I am disliked (to put it nicely) for expressing concern on that fact. If the ELD is malfunctioning a driver can only keep alternate logs for 8...
So by regulation drivers are in violation. Do companies get fined too? They must not. Otherwise they might have a lot more concern about all this.
I've come to see what's being said here on this subject. My qualcrap is still malfunctioning. And my company's office is calling me a liar saying...
Up 95 to Newark from where? Avoid 95 through Maryland near Washington DC betweem 6am and 9pm. If you have to take that route because it's best do...
They dispatched 581 zip code to zip code miles. The actual miles were 612 and they gave 16 hours to do it not including any time at all for the...
Thank you to everyone who replied. This argument with dispatch went on from Friday night until this morning. I finally got them to agree to let me...
Thanks. I already knew this company wash ###### after my first 4 loads that was this same nearly exact scenario. They weren't legally possible to...
That is abandonment. I'll never get another job anywhere with that on my record. Thanks for replying but...nah! Not doing that. I have done and...
The last message I got was "it's a 24 hour shipper. Go pick up." And I did reply, because this has been going on for almost a day now that 'I am...
The empty is on the way to the live load. There is no time at all given to hook the empty or allow for it to be loaded at the shipper. This is...
Pickup empty at 0600 (10 hours ago) live load at 1300 (3.5 hours ago) deliver 581 miles away at 2200 same day. 16 hours to run 581 miles. I...
You obviously can't. I included a link to the FMCSA website so anyone interested can look. The subject of post-trip inspections seems the be...
True. And I understand that as well as my many years of being a class 8 mechanic does not count at all toward driving experience. I learned a ton...
